Hello,
I would like to be able to license my code with one of the *GPL family
licenses, and to add OSI as an extra entity that can guarantee for what
"or later" might mean in the future.
I'd like something similar to what KDE Foundation is doing:
https://community.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy#LicenseRef-KDE-Accepted-GPL
sounding kind of like "any later version that is OSI approved".
I'd like to know if OSI thinks it would make sense, and if so, to
possibly suggest a wording I could use for it.
The OSI approves licenses one by one, not as a family. So any new
version of the GPL is not automatically approved, it goes through the
approval process. So it seems to me that your suggestion "any later
version, provided it an OSI-approved license," would suit your needs.
